I finished this quilt's binding last night
Waiting for it to come out of the wash this morning was torture.
I'm very pleased with this quilt. A new method obviously, and I'll never enjoy 'Y' seams. When I was first assembling the big diamonds I tried my best to avoid pinning, but it was impossible. I could certainly tell the difference while I was quilting in the ditch and that one diamond with the off seams showed that my points didn't meet very well. But the other 7 diamonds were much better, and I learned pinning was a must. Although try as I did I still managed to chop off 5 of the 8 star points. Poo. Next time I would have cut a size larger of setting squares and triangles, having 'just the right size' lopped of my points.
Oh well, it's good that I still have things to learn. I like trying new things once in awhile. I love this three pointed star.
And this would be my 25th for the year folks.
The tomatoes go in the garden tomorrow though, so my pace is sure to see a drastic slow down.
